i thought it might be the pressure switch so i got a new one and it does the same thing.

This is running on 120volt but the motor says 220volt is somthing screewey?

Thanks
Tinner

I got nothing to do so i would like to fix this as a project

I would wire it into 220v. I would guess that will solve your problem

The motor is designed to run on 220. It tries to do its job even when you feed it half rations but as you increase its load with increasing pressure it craps out. I'd crap out too,if I was on half rations.

Bingo

That was the problem.
When they built our houses here the left a spare box under the main elect panel.
I wired in a plug
wired a new cord from the compressor
